Masonite and wood have fairly similar expansion rates with changes in temperature and humdity, so a close fit should be OK. HTH Joe

About to complete ongoing repair of bay window, ready to cut and install the siding. The longest "wall" is 42 inches. How much room should I leave (if any) between siding and cornerboards? Thanks Chuck
